چکیده
The paper presents two designs of combined prismatic-parabola-cylindrical stationary concentrators. They reach 8.4X and 10.4X concentration levels for nonsymmetrical and symmetrical concentrators correspondingly and can be used with solar cells for electricity and heat generation. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (220.1770) Concentrators; (220.4298) Nonimaging optics; (220.2740) Geometric optical design

A novel absorptive/reflective solar concentrator for heat and electricity generation: An optical and thermal analysis
The crossed compound parabolic concentrator (CCPC) is one of the most efficient non-imaging solar concentrators used as a stationary solar concentrator or as a second stage solar concentrator. In this study, the CCPC is modified to demonstrate for the first time a new generation of solar concentrators working simultaneously as an electricity generator and thermal collector. The CCPC is designed...

متن کاملA review of nonimaging solar concentrators for stationary and passive tracking applications
The solar energy research community has realized the redundancy of image-forming while collecting/ concentrating solar energy with the discovery of the nonimaging type radiation collection mechanism in 1965. Since then, various nonimaging concentration mechanisms have proven their superior collection efficiency over their imaging counter-parts. The feasibility of using nonimaging concentrators ...
متن کاملElliptical concentrators.
Nonimaging optics is a field devoted to the design of optical components for applications such as solar concentration or illumination. In this field, many different techniques have been used to produce optical devices, including the use of reflective and refractive components or inverse engineering techniques. However, many of these optical components are based on translational symmetries, rota...
متن کاملSpectral data of specular reflectance, narrow-angle transmittance and angle-resolved surface scattering of materials for solar concentrators
The spectral specular reflectance of conventional and novel reflective materials for solar concentrators is measured with an acceptance angle of 17.5 mrad over the wavelength range 300-2500 nm at incidence angles 15-60° using a spectroscopic goniometry system. The same experimental setup is used to determine the spectral narrow-angle transmittance of semi-transparent materials for solar collect...
